Chapter 314 Entering the Temple
"Everything in the world has a limit, and so does my ability. If I fight you, I think my limit will be broken. I have never seen a human as strong as you, but I can't see your limit!"
Urouge also has some understanding of the natural world. I don’t know if it’s because of the ability of the fruit or because he is a monk, but this understanding is indeed very thorough, just like the principle that when water is full, it will overflow.
"Yeah! That's true. Come on, try your strongest blow!" Vic was still standing there, standing tall as if he was grown in the ground.
Urouge didn't say anything else. He leaped directly into the sky. The whole ground shook several times like an earthquake. It can be seen how much strength Urouge used in this leap in the giant form.
Ulki rose to a high altitude and raised the iron rod directly above his head. With the powerful potential energy of its rapid descent, he hit Vic. The oppressive feeling of this blow was terrifying to look at. Even a mountain could not withstand such a blow.
This time Vic didn't choose to fight back, not because he couldn't bear it. It was the last blow, and Vic wanted to deal with it in a different way. He didn't want to be slapped in the face all the time, even though it didn't hurt.
Vic stretched out his right hand, and the black color that appeared out of thin air quickly covered his entire palm. Then he stretched out his hand directly in the direction of the iron rod and grabbed the rapidly approaching iron rod in his hand.
The iron rod immediately stopped moving rapidly, and the huge force was transmitted by Vic to the ground under his feet. Except for the place where he was standing which was intact, a large pit appeared around it, with a pillar in the middle supporting Vic without moving at all.
Ulki also returned to his original state when Vic grabbed the iron rod, and he released all the power he had in one blow.
But there was still no result, and it was easily blocked by a hand. This was the gap between the two of them.
"I lost! Come on, I'll take you to the temple!"
Ulki was completely convinced, and with a sigh in his heart, he turned around and led the way, completely ignoring the discussions of the residents of Bica behind him.
None of them knew Vic, and they were all wondering where this strong man came from, why he had no wings, etc. It was really lively.
And Vic followed Ulqui and left. It was just the curiosity of ordinary people, and Vic was not going to satisfy them.
Ulki took Vic past the small wooden houses and directly to the tallest, largest, and most distinctive house in the middle.
Those small houses on the side are just places for the monks to live and store their belongings. The one that really needs them to guard is the most special one in the middle.
Vic followed Ulgi into the temple, but there was nothing special in the hall except a winged statue and smaller statues on both sides. Vic used his observation Haki to sense that there was indeed nothing hidden here, but he made a discovery below.
Before Vic could take a closer look at the statue, Ulgi took Vic and headed downwards. Vic then realized that the real place was indeed down there. He thought Ulgi would hide it from him!
This place is a symbolic place, a temple! Can it be called a temple without a statue? It can conceal the ordinary people, but people like Gan Foer know some secrets.
Ulki lit the oil lamp at the entrance of the underground passage, and then the entire passage was lit up one after another. A large number of murals appeared on both sides of the passage. The style was very similar to the ruins on the moon, but they were all very abstract, and Vic could not understand them very well.
"Maybe it records the development history of the Bikan people? Bikan is indeed closely related to the moon!"
Vic used his Observation Haki to search for the trace of the Thunder Fruit. If he took the Thunder Fruit away now, it would help Bica avoid the fate of destruction and save the sky island of Bica. Thinking of this, Vic felt that after he found the Thunder Fruit later, it would not be too much to rob it.
Vic also saw several Proverbs spaceships on the wall behind him, but these spaceships only had an exterior. There were many humanoid creatures standing on the spaceships, and even murals of spaceships taking off from the moon. There was a very conspicuous word "God" on each spaceship.
"It seems that Enel is not arrogant! There is really a word "God" on the Proverbs spaceship. Is this the scene they saw at that time?
Or was the word "god" added by the recorder himself? Do you think that the people sitting on the Proverbs are gods? Are the Bikan people descendants of the moon people? Or are they just witnesses of the arrival of the moon people? "
Vic looked at the murals with some confusion, and a lot of thoughts came to his mind.
Going down to the end of the passage, there is an ordinary-looking altar with a not-so-big stone box placed upright on it.
Victor's observation Haki swept across the box and found that there was no trace of the devil fruit inside, only some drawings.
Vic guessed that was the design drawing of Proverbs. There was nothing else besides these. The people in the temple probably guarded the design drawings of Proverbs.
But Vic had no idea why they did this. Without clear historical records, it could only have been passed down from generation to generation, and many things could no longer be traced.
"The Thunder Fruit isn't in the temple! We can't even find it in the most likely place. It looks like this trip is in vain!"
Vic kept searching with his observation skills, but found nothing!
It was originally thought that the Thunder Fruit was kept in the temple, but later it was obtained by Enel who had awakened his observation ability.
When he saw the Proverbs on the mural, Vic became more certain of his thoughts. These were all things that Enel would later own, and they should have appeared together, but he found nothing except the design drawings of the Proverbs.
Vic had no interest in the design drawings of the Proverbs. He was a physics graduate in his previous life and knew that as long as there was enough energy, a lump of iron could fly.
And if he got the Thunder Fruit, he wouldn't have to worry about energy. He could design a simpler spaceship by himself. There were countless drones in his previous life, and he just needed to enlarge them.
However, without the energy of the Thunder Fruit, it would be useless even if a flying ship was made now, and the design drawings of Proverbs were like chicken ribs.
"This is everything about the temple. Let's go out after we've seen it. I hope you won't reveal anything about this place to anyone else!"
Erki saw that Vic was just staring at the mural and had no interest in the stone box on the altar, so he clasped his hands together and said with a smile.
Although they made an exception this time and allowed people to enter this protected area, it is already the best outcome now. At least the people in front of them are indifferent to the things they are guarding.
"Let's go! I'll keep it a secret for you." Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Vic said and turned around to leave. He didn't have any attachment to this place at all. It was really just a look as he said.
"How did this guy Enelu get the Thunder Fruit? Did he really pick it up on the beach, and then destroyed Bica and got the design drawings of the Proverbs in the temple? This is also possible!"
Vic found that he had taken it for granted just now. The design drawings of the Thunder Fruit and the Proverbs did not have to appear at the same time. It was possible and reasonable to grab the design drawings with the power of the Thunder Fruit.
The design drawings of Proverbs are in the temple. As long as Enel destroys Bica, he will definitely be interested in the mysterious temple, and it will be natural for him to get the design drawings.
